Abstract: A polymeric quenchant. The polymeric quenchant comprises an inorganic nanoparticle, a water-soluble polymer, and water, wherein a weight ratio of the inorganic nanoparticle, water-soluble polymer and water is about 0.05-5:1-5:100. The cooling rate of steel during a quenching process can be adjusted by regulating the components and ratios of the adjusted by regulating the components and ratios of the polymeric quenchant to achieve desirable steel properties.

Abstract: The invention provides a preparation method of Zn1-xCdxA quantum dot capable of emitting white light, in which A is S or S1-ySey; 0<x<1 and 0<y<1. The method includes preparing a sulfur-containing organic solution; mixing a zinc-containing precursor and a cadmium-containing precursor with an organic acid, and dissolving them in a co-solvent to obtain a homogeneous solution; and mixing sulfur-containing organic solution with the homogeneous solution to produce Zn1-xCdxA quantum dot.
